Transmission-based Precautions I: Contact, Enteric, and Droplets

3.9K
Transmission-based precautions are for patients known to be infected or suspected to be infected or colonized with organisms that pose a significant risk to others. Some transmission-based precautions include contact, enteric, and droplet.
Contact Precautions:
Contact precautions are the measures taken to prevent the transmission of infectious agents, especially epidemiologically important microorganisms such as MRSA or influenza, primarily transmitted through direct or indirect contact with an...

Standard Precaution

2.1K
Standard precautions are the minimum infection control safeguards used while caring for all patients, irrespective of their disease condition. They help prevent the spread of common infectious microorganisms to healthcare workers, patients, and visitors in all healthcare settings.
Hand hygiene is the most crucial means to prevent the transmission of disease. Employers are legally required to provide their workers with personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize exposure or contact with...

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

1.4K
Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

Infection01:20

Infection

8.6K
When a pathogen enters the body and reproduces, it can cause an infection, damage body cells, and cause illness symptoms that eventually lead to disease. Therefore, its prevention requires breaking the chain of infection.
The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

2.8K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health
  • Dentistry

Background:

  • Monkeypox (MPX), a viral zoonotic disease, has emerged globally, prompting a Public Health Emergency of International Concern declaration by the WHO.
  • MPX is characterized by a distinct rash and prodromal symptoms, including oral lesions, and poses a risk of occupational transmission in healthcare settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the key features of Monkeypox (MPX).
  • To assess the potential impact of MPX on dental practice and patient care.
  • To highlight infection control strategies for dental professionals.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on MPX etiology, transmission, clinical presentation, and management.
  • Data sourced from WHO and CDC databases.
  • Emphasis on occupational transmission risks in dental settings.

Main Results:

  • MPX has spread to over 88 countries, with thousands of reported cases.
  • Early MPX signs include oral macular lesions and lymphadenopathy, preceding the characteristic rash.
  • MPX is generally self-limiting (2-4 weeks) with low mortality, distinguished from chickenpox by lymphadenopathy.

Conclusions:

  • MPX is a significant travel-related disease with potential oral manifestations crucial for early detection.
  • Dental care workers require heightened awareness and strict adherence to infection control protocols (standard, contact, droplet precautions).
  • Vaccine development is ongoing; smallpox vaccines show efficacy. Patient isolation and referral are critical during outbreaks.
